USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 7:03 pm .......no-way! We obviously can't see the coin in-hand. From where I'm sitting I'm saying, is this possible? I'm thinking this coin deteriorated inside the slab. I'm not a grader, so what do I know! What do you think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/332604190690 Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7627 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 7:24 pm I'm guessing it is a victim of a poor rinse following a chemical dipping right before its trip to PCGS. Most likely degraded over time. It's what's called an awfully ugly 65 now! Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 8:08 pm Toning does not affect technical grade. It does effect eye appeal, in this case negatively. As well as value. Technical Grade +/- Eye Appeal = Value. Report this Post to the Staff
Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 8:22 pm Mox, yes crappy toning BUT the real question is what happened to the surfaces after slabbing? Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 8:38 pm Blech! What a shame. Westernsky, I expect you are correct about how it happened, but I also wonder if being stored improperly -- where it may have been exposed to fumes -- could have done the same damage.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7627 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 10:40 pm Buddy... Improper storage surely played a part in this coin's demise. Chemical residue, hot and cold temp cycling and a little bit of humidity can play heck with a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
